I guess it's just me, but I hang onto both and know our depth is better for it. I don't see either losing value before the deadline, anyway, when the fetch for good first halves could bring in a potential coup. That and we get another look at them and how they fit their roles with the new squad.

I think it is more likely that the Sox deal DeAza than Viciedo but either could be dealt, I suppose.

I would expect the Sox to try and get a catcher in such a deal. The Yankees have the most surplus catching of any team but don't have a place for either guy. This could be another three-way deal, this time between the Sox, the Yankees and a third team that could use DeAza. Giants maybe? Pirates? Cubs? Mariners?

Viciedo would have a lot more value, IMO.

Depends on what the Sox want to accomplish with this trade, clear a spot or get the best return possible.

I mentioned that I'd like to see a Viciedo + for Gary Sanchez deal early this fall, but I just don't see a spot for Dayan on the Yankees after the Ellsbury signing.

Heyman's article suggests that with Dirks having back surgery, Detroit is the best fit for De Aza. De Aza to Detroit could really tighten up the race in the Central. Maybe the Tigers would also take Axelrod in the deal!

Yeah, I don't see a fit for Dayan Viciedo on the Yankees, either. What do you think of this possible three team deal: (1) Sox deal Viciedo to the Mariners for infielder Nick Franklin and (2) the Sox then deal Franklin and Jeff Keppinger to the New York Yankees for catchers Gary Sanchez and John Ryan Murphy.

And then the Sox could deal Tyler Flowers to the Mets for just about anything.
